Information Security
Certifications Overview
Security certifications are a way for those in the IT/Information Security
fields to prove, through the means of a standardized test, that their skills and
base of knowledge are up to the task of keeping an organization’s data and
information safe from those who would attempt to steal or otherwise disrupt
that data. Additionally, many universities and other institutes of higher
learning are beginning to integrate many aspects of certification testing into
their curriculums to ensure that graduates will possess the needed acumen to
safeguard against threats.

CISSP
The Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) Is widely considered
to be one of the most elite, and sought after, certifications for security professionals. This
certification tests for an internationally recognized common body of knowledge that shows
the individual’s mastery of information security.
The CISSP tests knowledge across eight domains including; asset security, security operations,
security and risk management, and software development security just to name a few.
This certification is most beneficial to Security Managers and Chief Information Security
Officers (CISOs).
Whitman, Michael (2017)
CISSP Requirements
Those who wish to sit for the CISSP certification, the candidate must have a four year
college degree as well as at least five years of direct, full time experience working within
two of the eight domains being tested for. Alternatively, they may also sit with four years of
direct work experience in two of the eight domains.
After successful completion of the exam, the candidate has nine months to submit an
endorsement from their employer or an actively credentialed CISSP to validate their
professional experience.
The candidate will also need to complete 120 hours of continuing education credits
every three years with a minimum of 20 per year.

HCISPP
The HealthCare Information Security and Privacy Practitioner (HCISPP) is one of the
newer and more specialized certifications. Whereas other certifications focus on
the aspects
of technical and operational information security, the HCISPP focuses on the unique day to
day details of the information security professional operating within a healthcare setting.
Being a specialized certification, the HCISPP would benefit someone who works in a
medically focused information security setting.

principles to assure accurate, complete and reliable digital evidence admissible to a court of
law, as well as the ability to apply forensics techniques to other information security
disciplines, such as e-discovery, malware analysis, or incident response.
